I remember telling people it's possible and having a whole bunch of online folk tell me how Stephen Wang from Princeton said there was a 98% chance that Democrats would win.

Nate Silver went from being congratulated for his predictions to getting criticized for mentioning that there were correlated errors which could easily result in a Republican president. It was interesting because Silver wasn't even predicting a Republican victory just a 40% chance it could happen.

I think you can give some people great parents and you just might be unlucky enough that they don't turn out to be nice people. It's probably worse now than ever in history because people can have one bad day and then they can follow it up with permanently radicalizing themselves on the Internet.

I tried to look through a lot of cases. It seemed like most every case was leaking information, threats of actual violence, stolen valor, or other generally agreed upon crimes. There's truth to the notion that a government is more likely to look for crimes if you're a specific person, but I don't know of anyone in the modern US who goes to jail for lying about things the army has done. I use the word "lying" because Russia courts make the claim that that's what happened here.

Also, there are more recent cases of Russia imprisoning someone for essentially this same crime.

I read the previous comment. I tried to find a source they would prefer.

My bad: die, not survive.

Generally speaking, solar panels aren’t optimized for near-constant traveling.

Do they mean it can't get a net positive amount of energy produced while driving it? Because, relativistically I don't see why near constant speed is different from being near stationary for solar panels.

Oh man I definitely agree here. I'm a huge fan of that "better than a human" threshold. Roads are already very dangerous. One of the wildest things I've noticed is highway driving at night in very rainy conditions, sometimes visibility will be near zero. Yet a lot of drivers are zooming around pretending they can see. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone when it happens.

It's interesting that they include phone brands like MobiWire and Blackberry, but not Google.

I'm not good with answers, but if it helps I have a question.

Why did he specifically survive? Is he physically different or is it just luck?

I didn't say FSD was an LLM. My comment was implementation agnostic. My point was that drivers are less forgiving to what programmatically seems like a small error than someone who is trying to generate an essay.
